- The cover of the June 15, 1976, issue of FLASH: The International Guide to Gay Living features Bishop Robert Mary Clement under the headline, "A Candid Interview with Bishop Robert Clement – New York's Gay Patriarch." Published during a period of increasing LGBTQ visibility following the Stonewall uprising, the magazine introduced Clement and the Church of the Beloved Disciple to a national LGBTQ readership. The feature reflected the church's growing prominence as one of the best-known sacramental ministries serving gay and lesbian Christians, highlighting Clement's conviction that LGBTQ people deserved full participation in the sacramental life of the Church without renouncing either their faith or their identity.
